- In August 1942, after the failure of Operation Barbarossa, Hitler turned his sights to Stalingrad. Needing significant reinforcements he utilised the armies of his closest allies in Italy, Hungary, Romania and Croatia, amassing a forces that would undertake one of the bloodiest battles in history, and one that would turn the tide of the war for either side.

Just 80 years ago. Mindblowing.
When I was five, it was only twenty years ago. WWII vets were 40-45 year old men then. I knew they were soldiers, but at five I couldn’t quite grasp the horror and lethality of war. They were patient with my naïveté.
It never stops, there are still battles and killing going on right now, Russian & Ukrainian mothers and children are still weeping, mankind never learns
Can never have enough of stalingrad and kursk. Epitome of human tenacity and resiliency.
@Real Thailand ..correct have seen the Moscow battle too but kursk and stalingrad were meat grinding and more epic,guess!
I think Moscow had the most casualties and was the real turning point of the war.
Epitome of human stupidity. Dunce
Stalingrad was the bloodiest battle in history.The Russians lost 1.1 million,the Axis lost 800,000.The Russian were constructing the tanks while the fighting raged ,their crews were waiting to drive them unpainted straight into the battle.Now,that's what I call war.
@@brianbreen1026 In terms of total casualties, you may be correct although estimates differ. But the Russians sustained 650,000 casualties in the defense of Moscow from September 30 to November 5, 1941. A mere five weeks. In the ensuing counter-offensive, two months, the Soviets lost another 370,000 or so. Around 1,000,000, about what they lost at Stalingrad. Obviously, the Germans lost way more at Stalingrad than at Moscow but for the Soviets, the total casualties were comparable.
While both battles were enormously important, I would actually rank Moscow as the most significant single battle of that war - that’s where the tide turned against Germany. If Moscow had fallen, the SU would have fallen as well. Stalin’s decision to remain in Moscow and defend it may have been the most important decision he ever made in his life. For the SU and for the world.
The children guarding the Eternal Flame. I am at a loss for words to express the meaning of that. A tribute to the millions of children who suffered and died.
And Age has nothing to do with a typo^
Like now in Ukraine and Russia 😭😭😭
Sacrifice like sheep by stalin
My grandfather - defender of Stalingrad and participant of operations ' Uranium ' and 'Little Saturn'. He was liberating Kalach.
Awww are you Russian I can speak English God bless you sir lol had a Russian that lived in America that I knew that spoke great English lol it’s crazy how life is humans we can adapt and learn other languages pat yourself on the back Sarah for furthering your education in being a better you I love so preparation you a real service just like your grandpa 😩💯👍^
@@Donovan351 Thanks ! I am not russian - I'm soviets . I am born in the USSR. In the ex-USSR very many nations.
God bless him. He died in a noble cause.
@@steveweinstein3222 17.12.1942 г. у г.Калач во время атаки он был тяжело ранен осколком мины немецкого миномёта: осколок пробил шинельную скатку, вещмешок, бушлат, обмундирование и застрял под самым сердцем. Весь день он пролежал на поле боя на морозе и отморозил пальцы правой стопы. . В мед.части ему ампутировали пальцы и отправили лечить в госпиталь в Среднюю Азию. Но там тогда не смогли безопасно удалить осколок и через 1/2 года его комиссовали с инвалидностью 3-й группы. За те бои награждён орденом 'Слава' 3-й степени и медалью 'За оборону Сталинграда'.
Через ~10 лет крепкий крестьянский организм каким-то непостижимым образом смог самостоятельно вытолкнуть осколок из туловища. Он трудился в колхозе бригадиром.
Не мог без слёз рассказывать о тех событиях, вспоминая погибших боевых товарищей. С уважением вспоминал генерала Чуйков Василий Иванович (командарм 64-й армии с 10.07.1942 г. до 04.08.1942 г., командарм 62-й армии с 04.08.1942 г. по 20.10.1943 г.), хотя служил не под его командованием.
Помню он рассказывал, как он с вверенным отделением ворвались в немецкий блиндаж и кромсали фрицев сапёрными лопатками.
Прожил 90 лет, по 10.2006г.
I love these old documentaries. I used love World At War when I was a kid in the 70's.
Well said. Olivier’s narration was peerless.
Fascinating video! Thank you for uploading!
My Grandfather was captured along with the 6th army in Stalingrad, he was in the 44th infantry division.
Many deaths occured in his prisoner of war camp of malnutrition and he lost 80 pounds of body weight moving around different Russian labour camps. Fortunately he became one of the few survivors to finally return to Germany in the mid 1950s
His younger brother survived through the war as a loader for the Jagdtiger in the 512th heavy tank destroyer battalion and surrendered to the Americans in May 1945.
Few survivors? What fantasy is this? The majority of German POWs were safely returned, not including the many thousands that escaped because they were kept in open air villages and not what we would think of as a "camp".
@@maofas In general yes but the vast majority of the 6th Army POW's never made it back to Germany, I believe the figure was less than 6000
My grandfather survived stalingrad too but his brother died there. It was sad that they lost stalingrad.
Got any other cool things to share? Thank you for posting, this was a great addition to the video
No it was not sad that evil was defeated at Stalingrad.
Could you imagine, having to fight floor by floor building by building. I can’t even think of what these men went through.
yes it was very much urban warfare something different from the blitzkrieg the Germans were used to early in their campaigns and the open steppes of Soviet Russia
@@westnblu...Soviet Union.
We trained that way and they were throwing tear gas and booby trapping the rooms. This was when I was in the Marines.
@@ronaldgreen8423 In what conflict?
The epitome of urban warfare was Stalingrad!
Thanks for publication from ex-USSR (RSFSR). My grandfather (father's father) is a participant in the Battle of Stalingrad, operations 'Uranium' and 'Little Saturn'. He was awarded the Order 'Glory' 3rd degree and the Medal 'For the defense of Stalingrad'.
My four grand fathers lost lives in Stalingrad….RIP
😢😢😢😢
oh man... RIP
How many russians did they kill?
@@pzorba7512 Considering OP's name is Igor Kharitonoff, I'd say he's Russian....
Four grandfathers...?
The amount of people that died in stalingrad was horrendous
Very horrendous.
Ya, kinda like 25,000 civilians in Mariouolple...
That's 15,000 more than with the n@zi aussualt. Unfortunately current razi ruskiya are full of rascists that want to recreate gen0side of Ukraine for the 3rd time in a century.
Thank God the world has finally seen them for what they are... Ukraine was part of society union, but that army was horrendous and did vile things while attacking.
And the _total number_ of Soviets who died in WWII is now around 22 million.... *22 MILLION!!!* All over the Soviet Union....infants, toddlers, children, women, the elderly, soldiers....it boggles the mind.
Not enough Russians died. They are terrible animals
@@voraciousreader3341 should have been more!
This footage is unbelievable. Truly one of a kind, you won't find it anywhere else, other than some dusty archive.
hahahahahha , EYO FEYK DARK MATRIX !!!!
This is episode 9 of a 2001 TV series called (The Big Battles Of WW2) www.imdb.com/title/tt12130906/episodes?season=1&ref_=tt_eps_sn_1
There was 15 episodes I would love to see the other 14 shows.
Boots, bully beef, RADIO equipment etc etc etc...
Agreed. Excellent footage I've never seen before
I saw this back in the early 1990s on the A&E cable channel in the US. Might have been 1990 or 91. I think they called the series "The War Years". From this it looks like the series was called "The Big Battles".
I love the fact that the children dancing fountain sculpture survived the war.
That was no sculpture. Bunch of kids got instantaneously fried.
@@jonglewongle3438 DAMN! Frozen-in-Place, eh? poor things. Still looks good, though. :)
@@fonzaug3355 I just made that up. I think I saw something like how i described that in the news in 1978. Some disaster and people were ' frozen ' like that from some aeronautical fireball. But I was just jiving you on the Stalingrad thing. I don't really know.
@@jonglewongle3438 Hey... figured that out JW ;) I was just playing along with you. I'm lucky enough to be a teacher of History, so I know about that statue/fountain. It pops up in Enemy At The Gate as well. Thanks for having a good sense of humour. Far too much negativity in this world. Be Well, JW. Stay funny. :)
@@jonglewongle3438 This is sculpture.
Your brains fried 👉🤯.
What I like most about these older WW2 documentaries are the footage you don't see nowadays from the war
YES! It's now CGI and that's stupid!
@@dragdragon23 with cgi they have control to make it look the way they want resulting in a diffetent narrative if they feel like. if that's not considered a crime to edit/censor history, i don't know what is.
@@VinnyUnion Very True!
@@dragdragon23 the biggest issue is, though, misinformation. The animators and narrator+staf don't work together, resulting in portraying something that's barely correct on the surface level by the script/research being disconnected from each other. I don't know if that made any sense lol
Bit absurd example but Call of Duty World at War for example was made in a tight team hence it resulted in a more detailed journalism to some extent. It's the details i suppose (which is often times more importan than the surface level of facts)
👍🙂 Yes of course.
My grandfather (father's father) is a participant in the Battle of Stalingrad, operations'Uranium' and 'Little Saturn '. He was awarded the Order 'Glory' 3rd degree and the Medal 'For the defense of Stalingrad'.
Just wanted to add that i have never seen some of this footage. Pretty gritty and it shows the horror of war. Of those 91,000 Germans that went into captivity, it is said maybe 5 or 6 thousand ever saw Germany again. The 'Motherland' statue shown at the very end is still quite the sight, many decades later. It is a fitting memorial to those who suffered and died for Russia in that terrible battle.
Your numbers are way off….a commission convened by the West German government in 1962 reported that about 3 million German soldiers were taken prisoner by the Soviet Union, most of them in the last year of the war. They believed that 1,094,250 died in Soviet NKDV camps. The German historian Rüdiger Overmans agrees with the above report published in 1974, but his research indicated that “only” 363,000 German deaths can be confirmed based on the files in the Deutsche Dienstelle (WASt), but that the further 700,000 military personnel still unaccounted for when his study was published in 2000 almost certainly died the same way. The numbers vary according to country, naturally, but if you check out the Wikipedia article, everything is spelled out there. The article is entitled, “German prisoners of war in the Soviet Union,” and I’ve checked the sources which all seem to be sound. I have no idea where you got the figure of only 91,000, but that’s why it’s always good to double check figures before including them in a public forum.
5 or 6 thousand too many
Those Russian workers working on tanks to the last minute and died in the factories are true heroes. Badasses all the way. My respects.
They had no choice...
@@chopperking007 there is always a choice. if you can't even imagine how you can resist, then these are your problems ...

Really must compliment and thank the excellent narrator. Very well done Sir. So very clearly understood.
Amazing this a actual video during a fight..... for those men and women die in the battle... rest in peace🙏🙏🙏🙏
Slava Ukraini and may her people be safe. Ukrainians were part of this army. Unfortunately soviets were horrid on human rights violation and war crimes.
what women
the 0.0001% concubines?
@@VinnyUnion ulol.....
@@benhardgliocam6871 it's true tho in history there were "comfort women" which the imperial japanese for example had
Saying "women" would imply the majority but it's fact that it's always the minority doing the work and the majority just crediting/leeching off of those few women that actually fought. My opinion.
@@VinnyUnion i dont understand you!!!! My point is the battle in stalingrad.... those men and wowen die to defend motherland....
Now i understand how the russians saved Stalingrad! Thank you for posting this video
...soviets...
"Russians" didn't save Stalingrad. The "Soviets" saved Stalingrad. Russians were only 59% of the Soviet army.
Humanity peaked in Stalingrad, no history of mankind can be complete without a mention of the battle for this city. Period.
Patton knew who the real enemy was
And he was killed for it
The original war footage in the "Big Battles" is fantastic !
All world leaders should have to watch this upon entering office…. So sad for all the suffering and loss. But hopefully we can learn from the past and make the future better.
Well considering there's another full blown conventional war going on in the same place ... I doubt it.
@@harrisonsladek9499 sadly true
Man,an actual interview with FM Georgi. Thats something today's docs can't give.
I felt sorry for those poor horses-over 5 million died in Russia
Sad waste of such a magnificent animal. Men don't care what becomes of the planet's creatures in their displays of insane brutality. Soon the victors will be compelled to eat their fallen enemy.
Horses are amazing animals and they were far braver then man. Over 8 million died in the first war. The things those horses seen no one should see
Totally, such a noble animal too.
@@zackjones800 far braver than man?? Are you insane.. these horses aren’t smart enough to understand they’re running to their death.. man on the other hand knew exactly what was going on.. watching his friends and relatives blown to pieces around him knowing chances are he’s next!!! Horses were collateral damage it was men who were the targets!!! Get a grip man!!!!!
During WW1 soldiers had to be careful wearing gas masks near horses, the horses would panic and bolt. They’re not stupid.
This channel is incredible, it reminds me of the stuff I used to watch on PBS back in the 70's and 80's. Much respect, will share.
And on the History Channel back in the mid to late nineties.
think bout this stalin was selling OIL to germany EVERY MONTH FOR YEARS IF HE HAD 1/2 BRAIN AND STOPPED SELLIN OIL A YEAR EARLIER....THEN THE WAR WOULD'VE BEEN SHORTER!! THUS LESS LIVES LOST...HELLO DUMB.
What happened at Stalingrad is still yet to be fully told or appreciated
I disagree. It's almost an industry; at least as compared to much of what else happened on the Eastern Front (such as the Rzhev Salient "meat grinder" etc.)
How do U know that ???????
@@tomflendodo7297 judging by the amount of people involved and the stories yet to be told by the people that are still alive today and the sheer magnitude if the event.
I would imagine many memories have been surpressed.
@@godfreecharlie Only aliens can revive them.
Excellent footage..well done!
Zhukov interview ….like a Boss !!!
Fantastic video. And from what I can tell, it sounds fairly accurate, unlike most of these kind of films who are usually too propaganda driven. Amazing.
This Is one of the best documentaries I have seen about the battle of Stalingrad many thanks for uploading you now also have one more subscriber thanks once again
Respect to all soldiers from both sides who fought at Stalingrad, they gave everything they could in this battle for their respective countries. I hope those brave men would rest in eternal peace.
Respect to the Russian people for what they accomplished and endured. They are very tough people. I can't imagine having to fight a war like that on your own soil.
They got their own back when they invaded Germany. Several million babies born to unwilling frauleins.
In that war Soviet Russia lost more people, military and civilian, than any other country, 20 million. Some thing to think about.
@@janbadinski7126 Its was close to 30 mil but yeah heroic stuff
@@janbadinski7126 bittersweet
Don’t worry it’s gonna happen again real soon.
The soundtrack is perfect.
Bc it’s nearly nonexistent throughout the whole thing lol
I'm a bit surprised by the comments from people who have never seen this documentary series. As a kid in the early 80s(?) On channel 9 CBET Windsor Canada. I grew up close to the Canadian border. At that time I think the series was called the world at war.
The world at war was a brilliant TV series 👍
This is not from the 1974 Thames Television series "The World at War", but it is similar.
And channel 42 if you watched on the second floor of your house.
Germany really messed up by bombing the city like that. Really gave the soviets the perfect fighting grounds to defend and hide in.
That was very intriguing and accurate to the battles. Thank you.
Every time I see the footage of soldiers fighting or resting in Stalingrad, I wonder how many of them - from both sides - actually survived the brutal battle and the war? Of those German soldiers shown, I doubt that very many did, if any at all.
Tip for you, read a novel called Breakout At Stalingrad. It is written by Heinrich Gerlach. He was actually there. Then he went to a gulag for several years. He survived. It is one of the best, if not *the best* books that I have ever read.
Of the 90,000 German soldiers captured at Stalingrad, only about 5,000 ever returned to Germany, some 10 years after the war.
Years ago under glasnost the Russians admitted to losing 1,000,000 soldiers at Stalingrad.
They were either killed or captured. After general paulus and the 6th surrendered they were taken prisoner and sent to where the cold only got worst and never ended. Only 5-6 thousand German soldiers survived and were released and returned home after the war
@@bdtclutch6654 This is sad. They should have taken their families with them and made sure no one survived.
Incredible footage 👏.. I thank you
That is ONE GREAT DOCUM. !!! 10 STAR
Why call it a "catastrophe"? It was a great moment for free humanity!
Great footage.... very informative.
This is the city I hope to visit either this year or next.
My wife is Russian. Her grandfather died in the second battle of Rhezv. Protecting Oblast Moscow

I wonder what the origin of this documentary is. I would guess British, early '60s or even before. It would be professional of the current publisher to acknowledge the original producers, who scraped together some amazing battle video footage from both sides and provided a concise narrative that makes this historic battle understandable to their audience, and today's.
He says 1972 at the start.
I believe it was originally on French Television, if I recall.
it's okay don't worry.
This is from The World at War series. Narrated by Sir Laurence Olivier
It's not world at war
Amazing footage, and all around great video.

Stalingrad holding out allowed Army Group South to escape the Caucasus, around one million soldiers + equipment. Presumably Stalin would have been asking his generals to take Rostov thereby blocking the main escape route other than across the sea to the Crimea but by this time Stalin had learned to listen to his generals.
Brutal conditions, and very brave soldiers! They don't make them like that anymore. On top of all the human death, about 5 million horses died as well.
The men who fought in Stalingrad from both sides are what you call tough and courageous unlike these people that you see now in social media fighting about nothing...difference between a real soldier and punks
The Nazis at Stalingrad were evil.
You never really know the true fight until you fight to save your country.
Glory to Ukraine 🌏peace on Earth
Amazing footage...I have just finished Antony Beevor's book 'Stalingrad'..fascinating read.
"We were confronted by an army far superior in fighting qualities to all the other armies we had ever encountered on the battlefield."
Chief of staff of the wehrmacht's 2nd army, general Günther Blumentritt
Superior in numbers, oil, and war materials bought by USA
I think what was really far superior was the sheer size of Russia and it's climate. Tough for any invading army to handle let alone be victorious.
@@tonyrobichaud The size of the country and the climate matter, but didn't the Germans know it in advance?
The battle for Smolensk was 2 months, largely because of this, the Wehrmacht did not have time to reach Moscow before the onset of autumn.

What an absolute pleasure of watching old war without historians ruining it.
Supposed "historians" changing it
One thing no film can really convey is how COLD it was and how horrible the conditions. Try to imagine what piles of hundreds of thousands of decaying bodies (men and horses) mixed with hundreds of thousands of men's excrement must have smelled like.
Also, trench foot, a serious condition that results from not changing wet, freezing socks for several days, was everywhere.
Pure evidence of what the workers are capable of when they have no boss above them. WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE!

Great footage.
Is this program part of the series "The War Years" broadcast in Canada in the 70's? I particularly recognize the synth score that accompanies.
wow lots of new footage never to be seen on the history channel
Stalingrad was an inevitable disaster since every front had serious issues not with oil but with reinforcement and supply. That's why the soviets easily trapped the Germans when they split up to take the oil fields.The Germans made it to Moscow but they were easily pushed back.
"....easily trapped....?" Just arrived there while dancing katjusha and trapped them.
The Battle of Stalingrad shattered the myth of German invincibility.

The part where General Paulus's HQ was discovered and Paulus flushed out sounds different from other narrations in which Paulus surrendered by his own decision.
it was paulus's decision surrender or die and he chose to surrender so it was his dicison.
Actually, his title wasn't General. It was Field Marshall. There were 24 Generals under him along with 2500 or so other officers. I find it so amazing that the Russians bagged that many high officers in liberating Stalingrad. And reading about how shocked the Russians were - they had never taken an officer that highly ranked nor so many before.
@@nobodyknows3180 The Russians captured that many officers because the German Army had fully abandoned leading from the front in Stalingrad...too deadly. Most of the brave (best) were dead by that last stage. Snipers weren't the only threat but they were a major factor. That and it's cold outside. And They knew as Officers they wouldn't be killed immediately, Stalin wanted to show off his prisoners.
@@Homeschoolsw6 Regardless of your hypothesis on failed officer leadership, they were all there at the 'front' if you can call a collapsed pocket 500 yds by 200 yds a 'front'
@@nobodyknows3180 At the end both the Russians and Germans were astonished, astonished! that so many Civilians had managed to hide successfully from both armies. If Civilians can stay concealed so can Soldiers.
It was the 1st time German Soldiers were starving in the filed. Also there was a " disease " found to be killing soldiers with no symptoms....they just died. Point is both commands were terrified, they remembered the " Spanish Flu ".
At this point in the in the war the germans had lost about two million men despite all the victories they had on the red army and things was about to get really bad with the coming of winter 😳
Konstantin Simonov was not a soldier who became a writer. He was already a published poet and playwright in 1936, and during the war he was a correspondent of the Red Army paper, Krasnaya Zvezda. In fact he had already been a war correspondent at Khalkin Gol in '39. Vassil Grossmann was another great writer who was a war correspondent at Stalingrad.

Utmost respect for soldiers on both sides
Soldiers are soldiers but some are invaders, and some are defenders. Deep inside, they both knew.
Germans dont get respect
Impressive
I like this series
Camera person manages to evade the bombs and bullets camera seem to be rolling while everything around it turning into dust i would love some knowledge about how on earth they managed to say alive
I always wonder about the cameraman and how he gets to record both sides of the battle; whether it be on land or in the air.?
they used dron's
It was filmed by Harry Potter's grand father, you figure it out.
Mostly the stuff from the Germany and Japan are captured, either during the war or found after.
@JesusLovesGunViolence JesusLovesGunViolence Very funny.
Hi BunzeeBear, my guess is that the German footage was done by journalists from Goebbels propaganda ministry (which would be shown in theatres to the German public), while the Russian footage was by journalists of the Stalinist Soviet propaganda ministry. Either way, they would have had to have been pretty brave to endure that kind of in the thick of things coverage.
Paulus should have had the decency and the courage to disobey his insane superior in Berlin who was prepared to sacrifice the entire 6th Army. Not a proud moment in human history.
